Mido Commander Lady Blue Ref. M021.207.11.041.00

Fortunately, the Commander today does not retain the one-piece construction of yesteryears. It is encased in the traditional way via a caseback. Today we like to introduced the all new modern Commander specifically made for the ladies.  A perfect round case opening out onto the dial, a slim bezel and discreet integrated crown, traditional hands and indexes, an excellent Swiss automatic calibre with high-tech balance-spring: the DNA of the Commander dazzles in this Lady version.

 Made entirely of 316L stainless steel which guarantees anti-corrosion and anti-stain, the watch features a mix of satin-brushed finishing and a high polished top surface on the case - giving the watch an elegant yet sporty look. The Mido Commander Lady 35 Blue measures 35mm in diameter, 38mm lug to lug, with a thickness of only 9.2mm. This allows the Commander to wear extremely well on the wrist of most ladies, and many consider a 35mm watch to be the “perfect women size in modern times”.

Let’s talk about that dial. We’ve seen plenty of sunburst finished dial designs in our time but Mido does something absolutely unique and brilliant here on the Commander. The sky blue dial clads a sunburst effect in a whirlpool pattern, instead of simply radiating vertical lines from the middle. It offers users an interesting look for the ladies to enjoy. Black applied indices are applied throughout the dial, offering a nice contrast to a dial that tries to steal the show every time. A 3 o’clock date wheel is also present, standing out perfectly so that wearer knows what’s the current date, in tandem to the “Lady” text proudly display at the bottom of the dial, alluding to the exceptional women wearing it.

To protect the delightful dial, Mido covers it with a flat sapphire crystal that has anti-reflective treatment on both sides of the crystal. This reduces distortions and helps enable the wearer to read the time easily, even in harsh lighting conditions. Mido also applies Swiss Superluminova on the hands, which helps with the legibility of the watch in the dark. A push-pull signed crown and screwed-down caseback give the watch a healthy 50m of water resistance, which is more than good enough for daily wear.
